The HERALD, in common with
Democrats on the Pacific Coast gener-
ally, has regretted the failure OF the
River and Harbor bill to become a
law. Here, at least, we realize the
great advantage to the nation at large
resulting from maintaining and adding
t. the benefits which God and nature
1lave showered upon this country.
As result of the miscarriage
OF what we regard as useful
measure, the administration has
come in for unstinted abuse from the
Republican press. This comes with a
particularly bad grace from California
Republicans. During the last Con-
gress of President Arthur's admins
tration large appropriation was
made for the improvement of the Sac
ramento river. 1t was law, and the
fund was ready. Mr.. Robert 7. Lin
coin, who was President Arthur's Sec
retary OF State, took 1t upon himself,
however, to defeat the will of Con-
gress, and to block the appropria-
tion. Out of his own arbitrary
will he simply refused to expend
the money. Here was Republican
precedent which we commend to the
editors aforesaid. This was not
case OF arresting the passage of what
the President regarded as bad law.
1t was downright defiance of law as
well as protest against the doctrine
OF internal improvements, made by a
Secretary whose duty it was to ex-
ecute the law as he found it.
1t is unfortunate for the prospects of
Republican success in the next Presi
Dental campaign that all their ar
Iaignmcnts of the Democratic party
are of this thin and gauzy character.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST II, 1887.
Gross Partisan Inconsistencies.

1t is really astonishing what fair and
critics Republican editors
are when weighing details of Demo-
cratic administration. This the Post
of the other day, in discussing the
DO sibility of a war with England,
alludes bitterly to the defenceless con-
dition in which the policy OF Mr..
Randall and his associates has lett
the United States. If we remember
right, Mr.. Cleveland took charge OF
the administration of the government
on the 4th of March, 1885. In very
little more than two years the horrible
Democrats could scarcely be response
BILE for all the defencelessness
of the country. When the Re-
publicans came into power the
United States had merchant
marine second only to that OF Great
Britain, and second only at very
slight remove. Our navy in 1860 was
quite capable, with the aid of the gal
FAINT privateersmen who might have
been called into the service, of taking
care of that country. We have not
vet learned of anything in the way of
either Notifications or a navy which
has been accomplished by the Repub-
lican party during their twenty-four
years control of the Government.
During that time our navy, although
untold millions have been spent uponit,
has dwindled into few old tubs, of
no earthly account, and the forts built
under energetic Democratic admins
tfations have been allowed to crumble
and decay. During their two years
partial possession of power the Demo-
cratic party has at least started in on
the work of rehabilitating our navy,
and adequate Notifications will un-
doubtedly follow in due time. Mr..
Cleveland, his Cabinet, the Democratic
majority in the House and the Demo-
cratic minority in the Senate, have all
shown their determined animus in fa-
vor of putting the United States in an
attitude of defense. No one of any
party dares to suggest that we should
even aim at aggression.

Farm and Garden Notes

Colonel F. d. Curtis claims that
chemical analysis did MT give the
full feeding value of beets and tur
nips. Considering that roots help
digestion and assimilation, when ami
mails are constipated with dry food,
it is evident that the Colonel is
right.
The New York Tribune says the
amount of moisture absorbed by
grain raised in the very dry air of
the plains of California, when it reach
es the humid air of the sea coast,
makes often so great an addition to
the weight as to pay the cost of
ocean transportation.
Why keep on raising wheat that
will not return by sale full cost of
production 1t may be desirable to
raise enough for use, for that has
special compensation in the indepen-
dence it gives but tor the market it
is folly to keep on raising when every
bushel means loss.-EGchange.
Peter Henderson, believing that
the cabbage fly (the parent of the
cabbage maggot) is attracted to the
cabbage roots by the scent of the
manure, is going to try cotton-seed
meal. which is oGorless, as fertiliz
er, and thinks he may be able to
outwit the fly, and thus secure ex-
emption from the ravages ofits prog
eny, the maggot.

Why the Cow Died.

In Scotland and the North of Ire.
land the saying of "the tune that the
cow died of is very common in the
mouths OF the peasantry, though all
who use it may not understand its
origin. 1t arose out of an old song 4;
sThere was an old man and he HAD an old
COW,
And he had nothing to give her
So he took out his fiddle and played her a
tune
Consider, good cow, considers
This is no time Of year for the grass to
grow
Consider, good COW, consider.
The old cow died Of hunger, and
when any grotesquely melancholy
tune or song is uttered the North
country people say: That is the
tune the cow died Of"
